Pheeewwwwwwwww! The suspense was so killing.... Will he? Won't he? Will we? Won't we?
And finally, the news turned to the best news of the January! :P
And this news also assures that, by May, we will have a that trophy in our hands too!

Woot Woot! Chris Gayle is gonna be seen smashing SIXES in Red-n-Gold for the next 2 years! Wooohhhhooooooo...........! Just as I almost danced when I got the news (I really danced!), RCBians, what was your first reaction when you got the news?? Something funny or crazy? Share it noww...

Meanwhile, here is a small reason why we should be celebrating this news so much! :P

Gayle in T20's in 2011:

Played - 27, Runs - 1441, Balls Faced - 782

Number of FOURs - 97, Number of SIXES - 103,

S/R - 184.27, Average - 65.50, 100's - 4, 50's - 8




And to know more about his records, check this out: Gayle stats of T20s
And here is a brief recap of all the SIXES and all the runs that he has scored.. Our Run Machine

Time to get fully loaded with Red-n-Gold.. It is time to win IPL 5...! :)

After all, who else could give Chris a better reception, respect and a piece of heaven far away from home.. Of course yes, RCB! Welcome back Chris. Welcome to your home of the IPL, THE Royal Challengers of Bengalooru. This is were you belong. This is were champions are born. For it is your destiny. A champion can only come from a formidable family, a reliant team. In the IPL, IT IS ALWAYS the RED and GOLD. The only worthy challenger in the Indian Premier. Even the devil envies us, for the number of souls we have following. Lets do it Chris, once again. A new series, from the start. Lets finish what we went for. The cup, the glory is ours this time. Never give up, Never back down. Not NOW not EVER! GO RCB, GO!
